Israel, much like the fortress of Tel-Chai that Jospeh Trumpeldor fought to defend against Arab conquerors in 1920, finds itself beseiged by enemies both within and without. Terrorists, would-be friends inside and outside Israel, and even bad government officials. Here are the discussions of one proud Zionist resident on the state of the nation and abroad.

UK is funding anti-Israel NGOs

The UK, along with the European Union (EU) and other European governments, has been investing massive public funds in an NGO engaged in lawfare against Israel's legal system, reports research institute NGO Monitor.

The NGO, called the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC), has been acting to sabotage Israel's legal processes, according to the report, which was released in time for British Prime Minister David Cameron's visit to Israel on Wednesday.

"From 2011-2015, the UK provided £6 million (roughly $10 million) to NRC, one of the largest single grants to any NGO in the region, used to pursue legal cases aimed at influencing Israeli policies, lobby for international sanctions against Israel, and support international campaigns of demonization," reported NGO Monitor President Prof. Gerald Steinberg.

Between the UK, the EU, Norway and Sweden, NRC received over $20 million between 2011 and 2013 to provide "evidence and analysis to form the basis for international pressure on Israel," as well as to change Israeli policy and practice.

What are we to assume from this? That UK taxpayers are fine with their money being abused for the sake of advancing Islam in any part of the world? What happens in Israel could very easily come back to haunt them in the UK, so taxpayers in the UK and Europe should start protesting this misuse of their bread.

About me

I'm Avi Green

From Jerusalem, Israel

I was born in Pennsylvania in 1974, and moved to Israel in 1983. I also enjoyed reading a lot of comics when I was young, the first being Fantastic Four. I maintain a strong belief in the public's right to knowledge and accuracy in facts. I like to think of myself as a conservative-style version of Clark Kent. I don't expect to be perfect at the job, but I do my best.
